Premiere from writing or reading rendered preview files on disk, letting the application edit in real time as fast as
system speed allows. When rendered previews are disabled, the red and green render indicators in the time ruler are
replaced with a blank white bar. When these previews are re-enabled, existing preview files are restored if no
changes have occurred in related sections of the sequence.

second computer monitor that is contiguous with the computer desktop so that it can also function as additional
space for the application. See the documentation that came with your video card and operating system.
